Olive Discuss Proposed Legislation During the Coming Summer at the Capitol. The legislature meets this week i and the Georgia solons will spend the : next two months in making laws and Killing many other would-be laws. The Richmond County representa tives were asked for statements re garding legislation at the coming ses | sion. Mr. S. L. Olive said: The first session of the legislature , was taken up largely with fiscal mat ters. General laws will come up at the approaching session. There will be an effort to repeal the progressiva tax law passed at the last session. While I do not consider the present law perfect, it is. nevertheless a step In the direction or fairness and should ultimately cut our tax rate to half of what it now Is. Of course this cannot be accomplished Immediately, but will be reached by degrees. The new law Is predicated upon the doc trine of equality for everybody in the matter of contribution to government in proportion to possession of prop erty. Under the old plan some coun ties In Georgia levied taxes on a 20 tier cent valuation, and others on a GO or 75 per cent valuation. This law seeks to equalize the tax valuation of property all over the state. Howl From Soma Counties. Naturally a howl Is coming from some counties notoriously unfair In their dealings with the state. Richmond has been as fair as any county in Georgia, according to tl)o comptroller general's report. I shail resist any attempt to repeal tax equal ization. I anticipate a hard fight on this question. The Western and Atlantic Railroad and the governor’s mansion property will come in for considerable discus sion. The School Book Question. There Is pending a bill to have the state print Its own school books. A mass of evidence, pro and con, has been adduced on this question. It Is a great big question. California has tried it without success. The advo cates of the bill contend that the fail ure of the plan there was due to per sonal graft. The opponents of the bill contend that the whole scheme is not practical. I have given the sub ject much study, but I doubt the feas ibility of the plan In view of the pres ent condition of our state treasury. State Highway Commiition. We hope to enact a law creating a state highway commission, which will systematize road building. For lack of scientific information many coun ties waste thousands of dollars on their roads. This commission will furnish needed suggestions, and the result would be better roads every The Dryest May in 22 Years Means Georgia’s Biggest Cotton Crop The average precipitation Tor May, 1914, for the State of Georgia, was .75, the lowest —much the lowest — about the lowest by half in a record of 22 years. From 2.16 to 5.47 runs the May precipitation record for the state. The nearest approach to the dry May of 1914, which stands at .74, is 1.12 and 1.76 for 1888 and 1889 May, 1914, is shy oT rain to the extent of an average of 2.73, which is the fecord for 22 years. And .vet the crops are in splendid condition, especially on the line of the Georgia Railroad and the predio tion Is made that Georgia, with a dry May, is going to make her best cot ton crop. Here ace figures for special seo tions of the state: Precipitation. The average rainfall, 68 stations reporting, was 0.74 Inch, or 2.73 Inches below the normal, and nearly half an inch less than the previous lowest record for May. A glance at the precipitation tables from April 21st to the end of May will give the best Idea of the extent and severity of the drought. Only three stations. Clayton, Glennvllle and Quitman re ceived ns much as 2 inches during May, while there were six regions in which the total rainfall was less than a quarter of an inch, an amount hardly sufficient to wet the surface of the soil.

Ham mond won the democratic nomination for governor at Minnesota’s recent state wide primary by a plurality of sno votes over Daniel W. ac cording to practically complete unof ficial returns today. THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. where. Our county now has the rep utation of having the best roads and schools of any In Georgia. There are several bills pending which were not reached last session, which ere endorsed by organized labor. None of these are radical or unfair, and I think their chances for passage good. The 801 l Weevil. We have declared war on several in sect armies. It is of much more worth to Georgia to conquer General 801 l Weevil and his approaching army than it is to conquer the whole Mexican shooting match. The annual damage done In our state by insects Is as tounding when you see the figures. We are giving all the protection for which We are able to pay. A large number of bills, general and local, have been introduced. The to tal number is in excess of 700. Of course a lot of these are freak bills and will never get out of committee. Some of them were introduced by va rious members for “home consump tion” and never intended for passage. I believe on the whole that the legis lature renders the state more real ser vice In killing than in passing a large majority of the bills introduced. Rich Commonwealth. We have the largest commonwealth east of the Mississippi, and I believe that legislation is best which places our stute on a sound and solvent financial basis and which tends to wards the full support of the common schools and the other great institu tions of learning. We must look after pensions as long as we know the meaning of gratitude. Georgia Is not now In shape to ap propriate money for a building at the great exposition in San Francisco, and will miss the magnificent world-wide advertising of her wonderful resources which a handsome state building would give. We trust that when the next world's fair comes, Georgia will be in a position to make her citiz.ens who visit it proud of their state. This legislature has tried to lay a solid foundation for the future and. In my humble judgment, has accom plished much. Mr. Samuel F. Garlington said that the legislature would doubtless con sider a great many things this sum mer, among them the tax equaliza tion, the Western & Atlantic Railroad matter, the prohibition and other questions. However, Mr. Garlington stated that there would be so much state politics going on that he did not expect there would he much legis lation of great importance passed. Mr. C. A. Picquet had nothing to say. ceived were Waynesboro 0, St. George Trace, and Hawkinsvllle 0.02 inch. The greatest monthly total was 2.99 inches at Quitman, of which 2.02 incues fell In 24 hours on the 26th. At many stations the total amounts are the least on record for May, as indicated below: Atlanta received 0.30 inch, the least In 47 yeara Dahlonega received 0.69 inch, the least in 30 years Klberton received 0.48 inch, the least in 24 years. Gainesville received 0.20 inch, the least in 41 years. Athens received 0.11 inch, the least in 34 years. Toccoa received 0.18 inch, the least in 36 years. Augusta received 0.06 inch, the least in 46 years Griffin received 0.39 inch, the least in 36 years. Macon received 0.45 inch, the least in 47 years. At some stations the amounts re ceived during May, 1914, were the smallest received during any month of the year, as for example at Au gusta since 1869; at Adairsville since 1890; at Athens since 1886; at Haw kinsville since 1892; Waynesboro also has a record of 0 inch in Sep tember, 1887. Will Never Recover All the Bodies 104 Victims Hlllcrest, Alberta. Government mine experts who continued today the search for the dead in Mine No. 22, Hillcreat collieries, which was wrecked by an explosion, entombing 195 miners last Friday, said it was probable the 104 victims still in the mine were buried beneath tons of rock more than a thousand feet from the mouth of the pit and that some of the bodies never would be recovered The majority if the 91 bodies thus far recovered were burned bevond recognition and but little effort’was made to identify them As quickly as coffins were available the victim* were buried. The generally accepted theorr is that the disaster was due to ah ex plosion of gas which had accumulated in tlie lower levels. The coroners Inquest has been adjourned until early next month.

SOLONS BUYING PALMETTO FINS Georgia Legislature Meets Wednesday. Session Prom ises to be Hot—Figuratively and Literally. Atlanta, Ga. —A force of porters at the capitol is busy dusting off the chairs and beating the rugs in the senate chamber and hall of represen tatives, oiling up the wheels of the slow-moving old elevator and laying in a stock of palmetto fans in prepay ration for the opening of the legisla ture next Wednesday. The fifty-day session promises to he a hot one, both figuratively and literally. There are a number of bills which presage battles on the floor and the thermometer is keep ing steadily around the 90’s. Amendment to the prohibition law by which regulations affecting ship ments of liquor from other states may be made more stringent, and ef forts to repeal the tax equalization act, are among the more important issues to be considered. The tax measure was enacted at the last ses sion when the speaker of the lower branch cast the deciding vote. Governor Slaton’s annual message is expected to be presented Thurs day. A suggestion for the good of far mers is made in the annua] report of the commissioner of agriculture, Jas. I). Price, which will be submitted to the assembly. “Most farmers are beginning to recognize the value of the leguminous crops,” the report says, and many are beginning to plant these rather extensively. Most of these plants must be inoculated with nitrogen fixing bacteria. These cultures could be produced by the department at a cost to the farmer of about 25 cents an acre if a small appropriation might be had for equipping the chemist for the work.” Mr. Price’s report concludes by saying the Georgia farms indicate great prosperity in all sections of the Y.
